I'll start with the hottest season, when my family and I go to unforgettable vacation. In July, when it's hot outside, you always want to swim in a clean, cool lake, fry kebabs, or just be in nature, watching the beautiful landscapes of mountains and forests. Therefore, in order to fully immerse myself in such an atmosphere, my family chose wonderful place forwarding is the Chelyabinsk lakes. For several years now, we have been happy to go to recreation centers in Chelyabinsk region. Chelyabinsk lakes are famous for their purity. I will tell you about the most popular of them, on which our family rests.

This is Lake Uvildy. If you dream of relaxing on a clean, sandy beach, spend the night in cozy house on the shore of the lake, then you can safely go here. Some tourists, for example, like us, do not live in houses, but in tents. This is one of my favorite traditions in our journey. You completely surrender to nature, as if you are sleeping under open sky and this is probably the most memorable. In the evenings, I like to admire the azure sunset and the tranquility of the lake. An interesting feature The lake is a set of islands scattered across it. On one of these islands, dad and his friends go fishing in the morning. Then it turns out very tasty ear. Also, if you are a fan of fishing, then in some places there are special bridges for catching fish. Well, of course, if you come there on weekends, you can get to the beach party. A DJ arrives with his team and the dancing lasts almost until the morning. We rest there for 3 to 5 days. And always, when we return home, we remember funny moments, and there are a lot of them.

But our travels do not end there, in August we go to rest in the city of Sol-Iletsk, rich in its salt lakes. I think this great vacation because we combine the useful with the pleasant. For several years in a row we have been going to spend our holidays to one of the most unusual resorts, which is considered the main health resort of Russia. The road to the resort lasts almost the whole day. 1300 kilometers behind us and we are there. It seemed that only in the morning, at the beginning of our journey, the whole sky was covered with clouds, and it was a chilly day, and after a thousand kilometers you get out of the car and the temperature outside is already under +40. One of the most popular resorts Russia is almost no different resorts on the Black Sea, of course, except for the absence of the sea itself. As a family, we travel as "savages", we rent a comfortable cottage, although in Sol-Iletsk there is a sanatorium famous throughout the country. The resort has a well-developed infrastructure, a lot of entertainment for children, excursions, zoos, water slides. But still the most interesting, attracting more than a million guests annually, is a group of salt lakes. The most popular is water treatment. Feelings after such procedures cannot be expressed in words. After the skin becomes smooth and tender, but this is not all the miracles of such mud therapy. The composition of the mud includes a variety of gases, iron sulfide, sodium and potassium, as well as substances that have a bactericidal effect. My favorite lake is Razval Lake.

Its bottom is completely covered with salt, so it is impossible to drown in it, which is another plus for those who cannot swim. You need to lie in the lake calmly, because if water gets into your eyes, it can corrode the shell of the eye. Lakes tone the body, have a regulating effect on the central nervous system, and improve metabolism. Impressions after such a holiday are unforgettable, in a few days we improved our health for the whole year ahead. And, of course, I look forward to a new meeting with Sol-Iletsk.

This is how our summer vacation, well, in winter we go to the thermal springs of the city of Tyumen. Our family visited three such springs, and the country club "Avan" became the most favorite. We spend two days there. Near the pool there is a cozy small hotel. "Avan" is famous for its real thermal spring. The water temperature in its pool does not fall below 45 degrees Celsius. When there are severe winter frosts in the yard, we warm ourselves in the open air in the source. It is an indescribable feeling when you go out in a swimsuit to a forty-degree frost, and rather run into hot spring, endowing the body with a powerful charge of nutrients. You don't even want to leave this pool.

Also in the country club you can bask in the Finnish sauna, visit massage treatments, play billiards and even go to the gym to work out. While adults are relaxing in the spring, children can have fun in the playroom. Water thermal spring, has a high level of mineralization. The water contains sodium chloride, bromine, iodine. Mineral water It has a positive effect on the problems of the supporting apparatus, on problems with blood vessels and the heart, as well as on the nervous system.

I like such traditions, I like to spend time with my family, and also with health benefits. I hope we will continue to travel like this in the future, because we love it very much. And, of course, we will not stop there, and will visit many more various places our vast motherland.

Going on a trip, you definitely need to take care of a minimum set of knowledge about the country in which you are going to spend your long-awaited vacation.

Indeed, abroad, even a seemingly insignificant trifle can seriously offend a local resident.

Especially a lot in the matter of eating. We will tell you about some foreign traditions that you definitely need to know and remember so as not to offend anyone in a foreign country.

The manners and customs behind the Great Wall of China, as well as the ability to eat with chopsticks, cause admiration for many, mixed with horror and delight at the same time.

Indeed, the ability to eat with chopsticks is worth learning thoroughly. And the first step is to find out what they can not do.

You can’t put chopsticks vertically on a plate of food - this is how food is served only to the dead, and if you don’t want to experience the wrath of otherworldly forces and those around you, then never do this.

Never point your chopsticks at other people, and it does not matter at all whether you hold them in your hands or put them on the table. Of course, it is necessary to recognize the art of laying the chopsticks so that they do not point at any person at the table, but for the reputation of a well-mannered person, it is worth trying.

Still, chopsticks should not be tapped on the cup or used with the reverse side.

If eating with chopsticks is definitely not given to you, try eating ... with a spoon. Keep in mind that in Thailand eating with a fork is considered a rather gross offense.

It is clear that in tourist areas, well-trained personnel are accustomed to look at such a violation of etiquette through their fingers, however, going to visit Thai friends or to a restaurant located outside tourist routes Eat only with chopsticks or a spoon.

If you don’t want to part with the fork, then try the following method: put food in a spoon with a fork, and now we send it to your mouth.

Middle East and

In some countries in this region, eating with the left hand is prohibited. If in Thailand they can just look askance at you for a fork, then in this case the ban is mandatory.

Here it is believed that the right hand is given to a person for saturation and touching the beautiful. Whereas the left hand is intended for hygienic needs and other not very pleasant things.

Honor national traditions abroad so as not to offend anyone. photo zane&inzane

Remember the famous phrase from the movie "Hello, I'm your aunt!". When asked who will pour the tea, Kalyagin replies: "Who, if not me, is the oldest lady present here."

Know that in Korea it is exactly the same: no matter how many people sit at one table, until the oldest of those present touches the food, no one will eat.

This rule even applies to twins and other people born at the same time. If there is no way to understand who is older by the day, then the count goes to minutes.

The same rule applies to feeding small children in the same family: the oldest child is fed first.

It is very, we emphasize, very impolite to ask a waiter or a person who invited you to visit in Italy to serve grated Parmesan with a fish dish.

Of course, because of this you will not be expelled, but the conclusions will be drawn accordingly.

Alaska, and almost at the North Pole

Where there is snow, cold and permafrost, morals and decency become simpler in direct proportion to the temperature outside the window.

Some indigenous peoples of the northern lands consider the usual ... bunch as a manifestation of gratitude for a good dinner and a romantic meeting. It's so simple and uncomplicated to say thank you for so many things.

It's different in different countries

The same thing does not always have the same meaning in different countries. In India and Japan, for example, it is very important to leave the plate empty so that the owner of the house sees that you are grateful for the food and thereby (empty dishes) say thank you to him. In China, on the contrary, a clean plate will tell the audience that you are a greedy person who can not satiate his stomach. Poverty, illness and the lack of proper education will be attributed to you with great pleasure.

Never finish drinking coffee or tea in a Bedouin village, otherwise you risk drinking it for the rest of your days and getting stomach upset and arrhythmia. A bottomed out drink here means you're asking for a refill. What to do if you don't want to drink anymore? Reach out your hand with the empty cup towards the person with the teapot and shake it lightly. This means “thank you very much, everything was very tasty, but I don’t want more.”

As you can see, all these rules are not so complicated. So, if on a trip abroad you do not want to offend or even anger the natives, then try to remember at least the main local traditions.

Travel traditions in the Eastern world

Insofar as modern tourism focuses primarily on European countries and partly on North America, tourism studies are usually characterized by Eurocentrism. However, the contacts between the Christian and Muslim worlds, which have already been discussed, also influenced the formation of cultural traditions, including travel traditions. In addition, the religious pilgrimages of the East surpass similar phenomena in the Western world in scale. Along with Jerusalem, Rome, Santiago de Compostella, Canterbury, Loreto, the centers of attraction for both religious and educational tourism have been and remain Islamic, Buddhist and Hindu shrines of the East: Mecca and Medina, the temples of Benares, the sacred river Ganges (Ganges), Buddhist temples and monasteries in Tibet, India, China, South-East Asia etc.

The Rig Veda, the oldest written monument of the Indo-Aryans (XI-X centuries BC), the inhabitants of India, who came from the northwest, tells in poetic form, in particular, about sacred place where the waters of the Ganges and Jumna rivers merge. According to the Rigveda, bathing at the confluence of these rivers ensures heavenly bliss and that those who voluntarily die there will gain immortality. This is the first mention of Prayag (modern Allahabad), the largest religious center ancient and modern Hinduism, where, starting from the 7th c. Hundreds of thousands of pilgrims gather in late January and early February each year, and once every twelve years (greater Kumbhamela) the celebration attracts millions of people and is apparently the most crowded pilgrimage in the world.

In the II century. BC. the Great Silk Road from China to the Mediterranean was formed, along which for a millennium not only merchants, but also missionaries, Buddhist monks, were moving, who, according to archaeological sites, visited Syria, Egypt, Libya and Greece.

Worthy of mention is the journey of the Chinese monk Xuan Jiang to India in the first half of the 7th century for Buddhist sutras. His “Notes on Western Countries in the era of the great Tang Dynasty” includes the first description of religious holidays in Prayag with almost half a million believers. The celebration in those days was held once every five years and lasted a total of 75 days. Both Hindus and Buddhists and members of various religious sects made sacrifices and participated in rituals.

From the notes of Xuan Jiang, we learn, in particular, about mass religious suicides based on the belief that those who die in sacred waters on the days of the celebration will gain immortality (the law prohibiting religious suicides was adopted only at the beginning of the last century).

In the Middle Ages, a genre of adventure novel developed in Chinese literature, in which information about real travels and fantastic events connected with the philosophical layers of the narrative were intertwined in a bizarre way. Xuan Jiang's notes about his pilgrimage to India served as the basis for one of the most popular novels of the 16th century. "Journey to the West" Wu Chang'an.

Arab learning was of particular importance not only for Eastern, but also for European culture. The European Renaissance owes much to Arabic science and culture, which accumulated in libraries translations of ancient authors, which later became the property of Europeans. Cultural and scientific achievements Arab world were received by enlightened Christians chiefly through Spain, the western extremity of the Arab world, where the libraries of Toledo, reclaimed by the Christians in 1085, became a center of attraction for European intellectuals, who at first were par excellence translators.

Starting from the 8th - 9th centuries. AD the countries of the Arab world experienced a period of cultural and scientific upsurge, especially noticeable in comparison with Christian medieval Europe. At the court of the heirs of Harun al-Rashid, the most significant sources are collected and translated geographical information, the nature of which is evidenced by their names: "The Book of the Picture of the Earth" by al-Khwarizmi, which was a revision of Ptolemy's "Geography" with the addition of Arabic and Iranian materials; original guidebooks - "Books of ways and states" (descriptions of the routes of merchants and pilgrims, often with the authors' own observations and descriptions of various sights), "Wonders of the countries", "Wonders of the Earth", etc..

Testimonies of Arab merchants and travelers of the 9th-10th centuries. are the most comprehensive source of information about Eastern Europe and Ancient Russia, in particular. For example, ibn Fadlan, a merchant who traveled in 921-922. as part of an embassy from Baghdad to Volga Bulgaria, he reports the most valuable details about the manners and customs of Slavic and Scandinavian merchants, which he observed on the way "from the Varangians to the Greeks." The journey of ibn Batuta (14th century) was a record in terms of length and duration: having set off as a 20-year-old youth from Tangier (Morocco) on a pilgrimage to Mecca, he traveled throughout the inhabited world known to the Arabs. For 24 years of wandering, he visited the shores Pacific Ocean, in the Volga Bulgaria, in Mozambique, Mauritanian Spain. Western Sahara, Arabia. In his vision, he, like Herodotus, provides a wide variety of information about the countries he visited, fascinatingly tells legends and entertaining stories. A special place in the work is occupied by stories about Muslim relics and holy places (Mecca and Medina).

As in Europe, around religious and shopping centers In the East, a corresponding network of services is being formed: from the trade in relics (for example, in Mecca - patches of "Kisva", the brocade cover of the main shrine of Muslims, the Kaaba) to the services of the so-called "bayaders" (Indian temple dancers). In Muslim countries, in caravanserais and beasts of burden, shelter and food were provided for three days at the expense of the treasury (this is reported, in particular, by Afanasy Nikitin in his Journey Beyond the Three Seas). After this period, the traveler had to either pay or go further.

In ancient China and in ancient India, there was a well-developed and fairly well-maintained network of roads (in China, tea houses were located along the roads, where you could drink tea at a reasonable price, and in India, roads were lined with trees to protect travelers from the sun). Interestingly, in China, when laying roads, they thought about how to protect travelers from evil spirits, which, according to traditional Chinese ideas, move only in a straight line (“evil takes the shortest path”). Accordingly, the roads were winding and tangled - which was more like medieval Europe than ancient Rome.

In some cases, the system of services was delivered quite modern. So, in India, during the already mentioned pilgrimage to modern Allahabad, (to the confluence sacred rivers), the rite of ablution has long been led by the so-called pandas, who inherit this position. This organization includes hundreds of families who have divided the whole of India into districts; the richest pandas send their agents to travel and look for new clients. Each new pilgrim is obliged to conclude a written agreement that in next visit will refer exclusively to his panda, and he gets detailed documentation on clients. Hundreds of hairdressers also live at the expense of pilgrims (today, from the whole ritual, which was rather complicated in antiquity, three main points remain: bathing, shaving and paying a fee).

In the 19th century, according to a modern Indologist, “the enterprising spirit of Europeans showed itself here”: As a pass to paradise ... a pilgrimage tax was introduced. Interestingly, the measures taken by the English. by the government (a strict order of movement that prescribes passing only through certain streets and through certain gates; the issuance of documents certifying the right to ablution; the presence of troops in case the crowd tries to break through by force; rules designed to eliminate abuses in the collection of taxes) organically merged with the traditional the order that secular authorities established already in the Middle Ages, as we saw in the example of Christian pilgrimages to the Holy Land.

Traveling to other countries opens up opportunities for new experiences. But before you start expanding your horizons, it's important to be aware of cultural differences between countries, especially if this is your first trip abroad.

The following 20 tips will make it easier for you to experience new cultures and make your trip not only pleasant, but also safe.

1. Don't travel without knowing at least a few words of the language of the country you are going to visit

At the very least, learn how to say "please", "thank you", "sorry" and "sorry". If you have difficulty communicating with the locals, they will certainly appreciate the effort you have made to try to communicate with them in their own language.

2. Read more about the culture and customs of the country

You should definitely know if there are any gestures or sayings that are considered impolite in this country, and avoid using them at all costs.

Reading about the experiences of other travelers is very helpful. Reviews can give you information about things you simply shouldn't do or areas to avoid. cheap hotels, good restaurants or attractions that are not in the guide.

4. Don't raise your voice

Traveling can be exciting, but spending time in a crowd of other tourists is not what you would expect from an overseas trip. When you are in public places, speak as quietly and calmly as possible so as not to identify yourself in the crowd as a tourist. This, most often, attracts thieves and scammers.

5. Don't smile at everyone

In some cultures, a face that is too friendly towards others makes local residents think you are flirting with them. And this is fraught with misunderstanding or other unpleasant consequences.

6. Be prepared to pay "tourist tax"

Tax on goods and services is, in fact, a fairly common practice abroad. As a tourist, you should expect to pay more than what is written on the price tag. But don't pay too much for something that isn't worth it.

7. Don't expect everything to be like your home.

Don't compare a comfortable vacation in your home country with a vacation abroad. Prepare yourself to stay up until noon, eat your fill, and spend time with your friends. You will have to adjust to the new pace and lifestyle in order to see all the sights and get to know the new culture in a short time. Abroad, the concepts of "shop", "club", "restaurant" differ from what we are used to seeing in our native country. So do not build illusions so as not to be disappointed, but just be genuinely surprised at the things around you.

8. Do not prematurely judge the life, values ​​and traditions of other peoples

Even if the streets of the city are full of garbage, and the inhabitants drink water and wash clothes in the same river, instead of judging looks, say: “Isn't this interesting? Tell me more about your life." Respect local traditions, because this is not your country, here you are only a visitor.

9. Travel in style that matches your values, interests and hobbies

Ignore other people's opinions and don't listen to skeptics. If you don't have money for a five-star hotel and want to stay in an inexpensive hostel or with couchsurfers, discard other people's stereotypes and prejudices. This is your vacation and only you decide how it will be.

10. Don't be afraid of street food

Street food won't kill you. What's more, there are many reasons other than the low price that you should try it. In Thailand, for example, street food is a culinary art that has far surpassed those from the most expensive restaurants. In addition, be sure to try the traditional cuisine of the country you are visiting.

11. Don't be afraid to say "no"

If you are offered to buy a wonderful, but absolutely unnecessary souvenir, or they seek to treat you to a dish that does not make you hungry, do not be afraid to refuse, just do it respectfully.

12. Meet the locals

Locals are not only direct carriers of another culture, but also an invaluable source useful information. They can suggest cheap hotels and cafes, interesting sights that are not in the guidebook, and even shelter for free for the night. In gratitude, be friendly and genuinely interested in their lives.

13. Celebrate local holidays and festivals in the traditional way

Not better way immerse yourself in a new culture than the traditional local celebration, be it an Indian wedding, a chili sauce festival, a tomato battle, or a Venetian masquerade. Thus, you will get more impressions in one day than in a week of sightseeing.

14. Travel longer, but in fewer places

Each individual city or country deserves as much attention as possible. It is impossible to visit five countries in a week and claim that you are well acquainted with the local customs, culture and lifestyle. Visit two countries in a week, and you will remember the locals, cafes, parks and squares for the rest of your life, and not the views outside the window of a tourist bus.

15. Don't make too many plans for the day.

Spend your days enjoying every minute and don't gallop through all the outstanding places.

16. Protect your documents

Take special care of your passport and never give it to the immigration office to renew your visa, because they, somehow, may not return it to you.

17. Buy an insurance policy

Travel insurance many see it as a waste of money. But it will save you thousands of dollars in the most unforeseen situations.

18. Don't dwell on unpleasant situations

If you suddenly get robbed or other bad things happen, don't dwell on it. As long as you are alive, let go of all negativity and continue to enjoy your vacation.

19. If you don't like your vacation, change direction.

If you take into account the countries of Asia, you can easily move from one country to another, in search of yourself and new experiences. If this is not possible, change the city. In any country you can find something close to your heart.

20. Be Prepared for Culture Shock

When you return home, the trip can change your established perception of life. Try to bring good experiences with you without drawing parallels with your home country. Over time, the shock will pass, and positive emotions and memories will remain for life.
